Chapter 233: Chapter 235: So... Is This Unhappiness?

Joanna Lawrence fell silent again for a few seconds, though it was a bit heartless, she still spoke directly: "Mrs. Benington, I’m not impulsive. I made this decision after serious consideration. There’s no possibility of me getting back together with David."

She didn’t know that when she said these words, Ashton Heath, who had walked behind her, stopped in his tracks and stood still.

A while later.

Joanna’s voice softened: "Mrs. Benington, don’t be sad. Even though David and I have broken up, we can still meet if you miss me."

"Alright, I got it. I’ll come over."

A moment later, Joanna hung up the phone.

With a slight frown, she put away her phone and said to Jeremy: "Jeremy, I need to go to the Benington family’s house now. I had a marriage arrangement held with David, and I should formally tell his parents about our breakup."

As soon as she said this, the man who stood behind her looked a bit gloomy.

Seeing this, Jeremy quickly made a sign to her.

Joanna saw his grimacing expression and frowned again: "Jeremy, are you having a muscle cramp in your eye?"

Jeremy: "..."

"Sis, Ashton’s here..." Jeremy reached out a finger, pointing in the direction behind her.

Only then did Joanna react, turning around to see Ashton Heath standing behind her.

Not even half a meter away from her.

She glanced at the man’s gloomy face, stunned for a moment, guessing that he must have heard what she’d just said.

He knew that she was going to the Benington family’s house.

So... he’s unhappy, now?

Ashton Heath, as a man, had a strong possessiveness. After she and David broke up, he wanted her to stop having any ties with the Benington family.

But after all, that was unrealistic.

She could stop seeing David and stop having any relationship with him, but it was impossible for her to completely cut ties with them and stop having any interaction.

It was David who betrayed her.

Collin and Mrs. Benington had done nothing wrong.

Though she couldn’t forgive David, she didn’t have any complaints about his parents.

Mrs. Benington had just called her, asking her to come over.

She wanted to talk to her about canceling the marriage arrangement face to face.

The marriage arrangement between her and David had been made when they were young, so there should be a formal ceremony for its dissolution, and that’s why she agreed to it.

"Did you hear everything I’ve just said?" Joanna stared at him for a few seconds, then asked directly.

Even if Ashton was unhappy, she still had to go to the Benington family’s house.

She needed to settle the matter of canceling the marriage arrangement once and for all.

To prevent any unclear entanglements in the future.

So even though she saw Ashton was unhappy, she still carried on under pressure: "David’s parents didn’t know about our breakup before this. His mom just called me, saying she wants to talk about it with me in person."

"So, I need to go to the Benington family’s house now."

The man’s face seemed to darken further, furrowing his brow. After a few seconds of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "Is David home?"

"He should be, I guess."

She hadn’t asked Mrs. Benington whether David was home during the call.

However, she guessed he was.

It was likely David had just told them about the breakup, so Mrs. Benington immediately called her to verify.

Ashton Heath pursed his lips, and after a moment, he led her by the hand to the dining table;

"Ashton Heath..."

Joanna followed him for two steps, then tugged on his arm: "I am going to the Benington family’s house to completely dissolve my marriage arrangement with David. Once this is settled, I’ll come back immediately, so don’t..."
